Gruden and McVay don't go back to plays or concepts that work or burn teams.
They were killing them with boot, and short passing game.
I guess it was working too well so they need to mix it up? SMH.
If it's working, DO IT, DON'T STOP DOING IT.
EDIT:
Just heard Cooley throw out the stat that we ran the ball 75% on 1st down at 1.8 yards per carry.
I really don't understand this staff sometimes. At times they seem dynamic and innovative and last night they seemed dumb.

I agree 100%.
I'm on the fence about Gruden and here's why:
On the positive side, I think that the team plays hard for him and that he and his position coaches are doing a good job of developing young talent.
On the other hand, I think that his too-conservative and very predictable play-calling is holding back the team, as you described.
Gruden has his flaws, yet I hate the idea of going through yet another HC change. I'm wondering if SM could step in and make it work with Gruden as HC by insisting that Gruden hire an experienced and successful OC to call the plays and spice up the offense next season.
